1 PREP FOR ALLERGIES
ALLERGIES Along with better weather comes sneezing, itchy eyes and a runny nose, but taking action now could help reduce hay fever symptoms later, says pollen expert Dr Beverley Adams-Groom. ‘The grass pollen season usually starts from late May to July, while tree pollen season starts in April or May. Always get bunged up? Using a steroid nasal spray a week or two before symptoms start could help.’
2 GET IN THE GARDEN
Not only does gardening boost strength and fitness, but you also get to see the results of your hard work as it comes into bloom. Set yourself a target, such as how fast you can mow the lawn.
3 TAKE UP A HOBBY
Engaging in activities is a great natural way to boost feel-good hormones, says therapist Marisa Peer. Think about what you used to enjoy as a child. Arts and crafts? Spending time with animals? Visit craftcourses.com or look for local community Facebook groups for ideas.
4 FIND A ROUTINE
Life feeling chaotic? Having a regular routine can help reduce anxiety, plus improve focus and productivity, says Marisa. Set a realistic plan. For example, aim to wake up at a time each day that allows you to ease into whether that's the morning with a coffee or gentle stretching, then gradually add in other nourishing activities. Try the Todoist app (free, App Store and Google Play) to stay on track.
5 CHECK YOUR DIARY
Missed a dental check-up, eye exam or binned your bowel cancer test? Check your diary and reschedule anything you were too busy to deal with in winter - it could save your life!
